Hard Boiled Eggs

1. Bring your eggs to room temperature before cooking.

2. Gently place the eggs in a single layer in a pan with enough cold water to cover eggs completely, approximately 1 inch of water over eggs.

3. Over high heat, bring water just to a rapid boil. As soon as the water reaches a rapid boil, remove pan from heat and cover egg pan tightly with a lid.

4. Set timer for 17 minutes for large eggs or 20 minutes for jumbo eggs.

5. After 17 or 20 minutes, remove lid and drain water from the eggs.

6. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice cubes and cold water after the cooking time is over.

7. Let eggs cool at least 10 minutes in cold water, then drain.

And then you have perfect, simple, hard boiled eggs.
